Confession: I really love black forest cake of the supermarket variety. It has been one of my favorites since I was a kid, but for my birthday this year I wanted something a bit more special to serve my friends after sushi dinner. Yesterday I turned 27 (yikes!) and together with my mom built a towering three layer black forest cake with heaps of whipped cream and cherries. We followed this recipe and I took the liberty of adding pink sprinkles and edible gold stars, which look like little constellations in the icing! This cake was pretty damn delicious but admittedly not as good as my pink cake from last year.

Hands down my favourite cake was a frozen Black Forest cake from Sara Lee! I'd request it year after year until for some (super sad!) reason they stopped stocking it - noooooooo! Black forests will always have my heart and your cake is one of the prettiest versions I've ever seen! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Welcome to 27! I always forget that I'm 27 to be honest...it's such a random age lol. I didn't have a beautiful cake like yours, but I'll have to make an excuse to eat one soon. Great job on making it look so gorgeous! xx
